How well will this paint work on the interior of my garage without a primer

We bought a new house and had the garage drywalled and ready to paint.

Asked by: vickstr

As a professional painter, I like this paint alot. If you are painting an unfinished wall, like in your garage, I would suggest a thicker 'nap' on your roller. Consider a 3/4 nap so that the roller will really hold the paint and give you the easy coverage that you would expect from this paint. Good luck!

I purchased this paint in Tailor's Chalk to paint over a very subdued taupe in my bedroom. What should have been a weekend project has turned into at least three weekends of frustrating work. This paint does not cover well at all, leaving streaks and splotches on my walls. I'll have to purchase a third gallon to hopefully cover them. Honestly, I purchased paint (beige) from a local discount store in the past that covered an electric blue wall with only one coat. Unfortunately, this paint was a waste of money, a huge disappointment, at a premium price.

The first problem I experienced was painting the edges, if you tried to brush over an area to blend, the paint that had been on less than 2 minutes the paint lifted and was like painting with glue! Then after the rolled paint was on the wall for about 5 minutes air bubbles appeared under the paint and in other areas it started to sag,too. The room had clean flat paint on the walls prior to the application. Now the room is half painted and we are trying to determine what we can do to fix this mess! My husband and I have been painting all rooms in our homes for more than 40 years and have never encountered anything like this before. We were helping our daughter in her first home, so we are really disappointed with this HD product!

One coat looks horrible and you WILL NEED a second coat guaranteed. The better paint the Behr Marque does not come in 5 gallon buckets and I bought this lesser quality paint because I needed 7 gallons and did not want to worry about can to can matching of color (I know, pour it all into a clean 5 gallon bucket and mix it up!). Also have your scraper and sandpaper ready as this paint runs like the NY City marathon. I will never buy this paint again as it created a lot of extra work for me.

Worst paint everUsed in 2 different rooms for accent walls. Peeled off in sheets when I pulled off the frog tape and the 3m tape in both rooms. Never had that problem with any other paint in my life. Yes I sanded and prepped. Scared to put tape over it to be able to paint the other walls. Don’t know how to even fix this debacle.

Even with a primer-coat (which the folks at Home Depot will tell you is unnecessary, because the paint has primer in it), the paint pulls off of the wall in large chunks. Especially bad for damp environments, where you don't want moisture getting below the paint and the paint bubbling up. The worst is that once the paint pulls away from the wall, it creates a uneven surface that is difficult to cover. Avoid Behr at all costs. There's a reason that Benjamin Moore is the specification grade paint of choice.

I bought a new gallon of paint for my office. I have never been able to use a paint roller, but have always had good results using a paint pad. Today, however, this paint splattered and ran. It ran down the wall under the blue 3M masking tape that didn't do its job in sticking to the baseboards and onto the carpet. So now, not only do I have paint all over my carpet and I have to repaint my freshly painted baseboards, I have had to keep brushing out all the runs on the wall. At $30 gallon I expected better than this. I have been using this same paint and have painted almost my entire house with this paint, but this gallon has been horrible. I would not recommend this paint nor will I ever use it again.

This paint does NOT cover in one coat does not go on evenly and leaves a bubbly texture. Had to go back and re-roll the walls to try and achieve and even finish. I am a huge advocate of Behr paints but if you use this particular type of Behr paint, BEWARE and be prepared to repaint with another. Just use another Behr product and paint two coats, you will have to anyway if you use this paint.

As a paint and primer that supposedly blocks stains, it takes multiple coats to do the job. I needed 3 coats to cover a light tan/brown shade called Cinnamon. There were some marks on the walls (walls were white, marks were blackish), and it tooks multiple coats to cover the marks. It's a nice shade of white and the rooms all look brighter now that they are painted, but it doesn't perform as advertised.
